For more than three decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been keeping families close at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House.

Established in 2006, the Orange County Family Justice Center Foundation (OCFJC Foundation) is a nonprofit that is one of 15 partners of the Orange County Family Justice Center, which co-locates employees of local law enforcement and social services under one roof. The OCFJC facilitates access to the services that victims need to protect themselves and their families from further violence.

The mission of the OCFJC Foundation is to provide direct victim assistance and empowerment and prevention resources to victims and families whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and elder abuse. The OCFJC Foundation transforms victims into survivors and breaks the cycle of violence.

The OCFJC Foundation supports two programs: Direct Victim Assistance and Kids Creating Change. Please click on our link “What We Do” for more information about these programs.
